Would never buy an E-Class or R-Class with petrol engine - so I included the diesels into the poll, too!!

The tested car was equipped with Airmatic - Don't know why there is so much body role - it also looks weird, because of the Distronic system in the grille!

E280 T-Modell is a good choice if you don't drive too much and don't need the expensive taxes that come with owning a diesel. I still voted for the E280 CDI though.

E280 CDI in a heartbeat, without even looking on that ugly R.

From the rear, and rear 3/4 the R I think looks great. It's the front that sometimes looks a little weird, though better now with the standard sport package in US. It will be interesting to see what they do with the front headlights in the facelift.... They might make them one piece and more B/A FL like...

Want me to change it for you?

Which R you voted for, petrol or diesel?

Thanks! I went for the R280 CDi but wanted to go for the E280 CDi.

I really like the E-class and compared to the R-class... there is no thinking twice.
